It isn't and that is.

Leaves are much smaller and variegated.
Benjamina looks far more likely - but some of the pictures show large
leaves
and the leaves on mine are quite small and delicate.
Could be one of the variegated cultivars mentioned in the article.
I note that there is a minature version much used for indoor Bonsai.

Precisely. The chances of it NOT being a benjamina are infinitesimal,
though it is less clear what variety.

There's also a nice variegated form of Ficus australis
